How Blogging Became My Boyfriend

Over here at IFB, we're big fans of getting personal on your blog. It helps foster a great relationship with your readers and builds a level of trust. So, I can trust you guys, right? I can tell you something personal and sort of – well – embarrassing? Maybe it's embarrassing, but maybe (just maybe) it's awesome?

Here it is: I am a living, breathing, single girl in New York City. Wait for it – that's not the embarrassing part. I'm single, but only sort-of. You see, I think I'm dating my blog. That's right. I'm pretty sure that this part of my life – the one that's supposed to be filled by a very handsome, smart and funny human man – is currently occupied by my blog. Don't believe me, here's 20 reasons why I'm probably right:

I think about it all the time. Especially before I fall asleep at night.

We spend a lot of time together on weeknights. I'll make us dinner and we'll just hang out on the couch.

Sometimes I'll surprise my blog with a visit in the middle of the work day, just to say hi, because I miss it.

My parents know my blog, and talk about it up to their friends and the rest of my family.

I used to be sort of embarrassed about my blog. I didn't think anyone would understand, so I kept it mostly to myself. As our relationship has grown, and I've molded it into something I'm wildly proud of, and I take it with me everywhere.

We occasionally get in really dramatic fights; usually over it's inability to do exactly what I say.

When something really great happens, I tell my blog first.

My friends without blogs tell me that I spend to much time with it, but I know it's just because they don't understand our relationship. And they're jealous.

I think my blog can tell I'm seeing other blogs, and has noticed that I give it less attention lately.

I sacrifice spending time with my friends to spend time with my blog; after all, we're trying to build a future together.

Not having a smart phone has ensured that I still have “me time” away from the world we share.

Every time I think about breaking things off, something pulls me back in. Usually it's shoes. Or jewelry.

It may not be the biggest, most handsome, strongest and most popular blog out there, but it's unique, it's mine, and I love it.

So there you have it. I honestly can't decide if this is totally amazing or totally therapy-worthy. My blog and I have been together for over two years now, and they've been some of the best years of my life. We've laughed, we've cried… We've been to Fashion Week. I suppose, while I search for a nice human man, the warm glow of Blogspot will have to suffice.

Being slave to fashion for as long as I can remember and having to tone it down from time to time to make appropriate for work or people you are with, now I can dress up the way I’ve always wanted to like wearing a hat or wearing a variety of accessories without being accused of where the hell do you think you are going with that? You know what I mean, now you can really dress it up take photos, upload to your blog and HEAVEN, a la Ophra ahhhhh!
